My memory's fuzzy, but I heard way back when that George wrote this to be nine episodes. I think the last three came out as graphic novels in the early 90s? Anyone know what I"m talking about?

Well, theforce.net has this to say about possible sequels now...

We may be able to shed some more light on the info indicating that Episode VII, VII, IX might happen. It may not be for a post-trilogy at all.
A year ago, we got our first report about the possibility of a TV show in the works after Episode III. We were not able to backup the info with other evidence, so it remained on the side and unreported... until recently.

We posted rumblings that Steven Spielberg might be involved in Star Wars post-Episode III and there must be something in the works, we got plenty of commentary. Then AICN posted the article about Pacific Digital and licensing agreements being extended, so many concluded that post-ROTJ films might be in the works. However, we also looked at our info from last year and believed we might finally have some proof of the initial report. We needed more.

We might finally have it. People we trust are telling us that there's a TV show on the design table. Instead of a Rogue Squadron series (which we first theorized some time ago), they may be looking at a post Episode 3 - pre Episode 4 about the rise of Darth Vader and why he is so feared in the OT.

We cannot confirm yet if the show is intended as live-action or animated (like Clone Wars). Since this is all in the early stages, it could change further down in pre-production. More as we get it - just thought you'd like to know what we're hearing.

This reminded me of comic book guy from the simpsons, I wonder if it was intended?

I like the campy dialogue, it makes it feel like an old tv show as Lucas intended.

Starfish · 01-23-2004, 03:10 PM

im a huge star wars fan! i think that it is a wonderful idea and he should go ahead and do it..... but only as long as Lucas doen't direct the movie..... I love Lucas but the last two I feel could have been done better if another director had been in his place. (no offence to Lucas of course)

notaneel · 02-02-2004, 01:00 AM

enough is enough...sigh...though i guess they couldn't be any worse than the two prequels have been. Cool CG can't make up for terrible acting and ham-fisted dilogue.

bundy · 02-02-2004, 09:27 PM

wow... plot summaries...
thanks for all that info deflok. once again you have championed the entertainment forum and sated the star wars needs of the TFP.

illesturban · 02-03-2004, 07:21 AM

I think it'd be great to see another trilogy of Star Wars as long as it's done right. I too think George should let someone else write or direct though; but I mean I can understand him not wanting to, it's his baby and can you imagine what it'd be like if the new movies got rave reviews and acclaim after HE didn't write or direct them? lol.

But yeah we're gonna have to keep an eye on this over the next couple years; I'm sure after Episode III is released there'll be some more rumblings from the lab.

And as far as the whole tv thing goes, that's a big no for me. I think it sounds rediculous.

No surrender · 02-03-2004, 07:43 AM

Alot of misdirection here, to be sure. But I concur with the sentiment that financially, and emotionally, a sequel trilogy would be awesome.

Jizzosh · 02-03-2004, 02:47 PM

I'm just gonna sit back, politely cross my fingers (for many many many reasons) and hope for the best out of all this.

Agreed.

btw.. I love Star Wars.. But there IS such thing as "too much of a good thing" Everytime someone tries to drag on something longer than it should (ie. Tribes 2) it could end up hurting the originals
